Title:
Fonts are spectacularly broken
Status in “lilypond” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “texlive-bin” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The current build is done with a version of Metafont that is known to
be broken. Every single file produced by this compilation of LilyPond
has a spectacularly broken treble clef at the start of each line, and
most note flags are quite broken as well.
The current developer version for LilyPond (2.17.29) refuses to
compile with the broken Metafont version. Unfortunately, 2.16.2 does
not yet contain the respective check.
Metafont versions announcing itself as anything between 1.600 and
1.802 (inclusively) are broken. The currently distributed version of
Metafont with Ubuntu is 1.802.
Since this affects _every_ output file produced by LilyPond, this bug
is _critical_. The texlive-binaries package needs to get updated
(Debian already did so), and preferably the build dependencies must
reflect the inability of building a working version of LilyPond with
the current version of texlive-binaries, which is
2013.20130529.30792-1build2.
The corresponding bug in texlive-bin is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/1220653
which has not seen a lot of interest.
This build of LilyPond has to be withdrawn as _fast_ _as_ _possible_.
It is not possible to typeset music of useful quality with it.
